Configuration Center Overview

ConfigMap

ConfigMaps are Kubernetes objects that you can use to store the configurations required by applications. After you create a ConfigMap, you can use it as a file in a containerized application. For details, see ConfigMaps.

Secret

Secrets are Kubernetes objects that you can use to store sensitive data such as passwords, tokens, certificates, and private keys. You can load a secret to a container as an environment variable or a file when the container is started. For details, see Secrets.
  • Secrets and SSL certificates share the same quota.
  • You are advised to encrypt the uploaded secret.

SSL Certificates

SSL is a security protocol. You can upload an SSL certificate to CCI to encrypt data transmitted between the client and server, preventing data leakage and ensuring secure data transmission. To enable secure public network access for a web application in CCI, set the workload access mode to Internet access and the ELB protocol to HTTPS, and then select the certificate for Internet access during workload creation. For details, see Adding an SSL Certificate.
